biography



Blakhatz Inner city Sydney band blakhatz , together since late 2005, mix it up with retro harmonies, laptop dancing and guitar trio grunt. Not so much salvation but a soundtrack. Scenes include: Bozo Creep- remember to never assume the Mission Statement position in front of the children. The Ballad Of Rusty Grunt - a hotel clerk’s epiphany Ooga Booga Boogie - the Spin Cycle that helps keep us all “on task” Red Hand Rock - take time to be moved by an ancient presence even older than television Falling - love song for the planet Surf’s Down -the good, the bad and the ugly mix it up to a darabouka driven surf beat. Bento Baby - unrequited lunch Tokyo style Brilliant Shine- Come for a drink at the Hope and Optimism – Golden Dreaming all round. Little Kimi - duty puts love on hold, but just like in the unreal world we get the threat of a happy ending. River Between Us - a song for friends who have left this party way too early. Trash The Room will we be laughing out the other end of our board shorts when we are lounging on Katoomba Beach. Cheaters TV – time for a reality cheque Okinawa Cowboys - Johnny go marching home !blakhatz is Guru Greg on vocals, guitar, programming and horoscopes: Doctor Mark J on bass, guitar and vocals ; Diamond Jem on drums, ukulele, keys and vocals.
Raised in the musical caves of Australia. they have played (under a different guise) the Albert Hall, jungles of Borneo, the Swiss Alps, Brixton and Florida.

from 1991 , a national TV show the BIg Gig, recorded  Melbourne.
Elton Jack an 8 piece band on the road ,2 drummers ,guitar,synth , piano  horns, and Becky Johnson on bass , totally awesome player and the voice of doom.
Jeremy Blakhatz is in yellow and the other drummer Mr Trevor White rose to stardom here in OZ playing Jesus in the Harry M Miller produced "JC Super Star' in the early 70s, with Marcia Hienz and Jon English. .
Trevs  musical pedigree is legendary he worked with some of the sacred ones . 
Thankfully managed to salvaged these videos and am the process of chopping them into bite size chunks for youtube.
They span  1990 >1996 , the hay day of this genre , by that I mean Tribute Bands.
Ironically it was during the recession we had to have but there was plenty of work for musos. Pre internet hahaha.

Backstageoz available on bhtz youtube site.
